We all Remember the days when the draft was our premiership. To have us win a premiership in 2021, with real hope for a second, and looking at a top ten, possibly top 5 pick coming back is better than Xmas. I feel like I’m living like a unicorn 😜

I will be watching the game today, reading 2023 phantom drafts, and laughing at those who thought they were the unicorn. 
 

Bring it on… 

Yep, and we gave up pick 3 to get it. 
 

Jacko really is a distant memory for many.

    Just think of the possibility that we win a flag and flagmantle win the wooden spoon!

    When has the premiers ever gotten the number one draft pick?

    omg! That is mind blowing.

    hahahahaha!

    Closest I can think of would be a couple of Sydney academy picks when they were top of the ladder. Heeney (defaulted to 18) Mills (taken at 3, before Oliver).

    It sure worked our well for the Swans so here's hoping it keeps us growling along nicely.

    Harley Reid come on down!

    Or.... we swap pick 1 for three first rounders, as many reports have mentioned. Imagine the premiers having 4 first rounders!

    Wishful thinking!

    Definitely wishful thinking. Fremantle could miss the 8 but definitely won't be bottom. Still, whichever way you look at it Melbourne are well-positioned for the 2023 draft. What does [censored] me off though is all the compromises to the draft from father-son and academy selections.

    I reckon today will tell us where they’re going this year.

    50/50 game on the road against a side that’s hot off the showdown.

    Start 1-3 and they’re going to have to go on a couple of 3-4 game winning streaks if they hope to make finals.

    first decent forward connection I've seen from Freo this season. maybe they have turned the corner?

    Who'd have thought we would be doing to a team what Collingwood did to us for all those years. Dawes Neeld Lumumba Howe Kennedy. On and on. Freo have a way to go but it's getting there. Hogan Jackson hopefully Jefferson and two mega stars in this years draft care of them.
    Although to be fair we can't really take the credit for it like Collingwood did. Peter Bell has to take all the credit.

    We could easily end up with something close to pick 3 this year+ Jefferson (2022 #13)  + 2023 #23 to #26!

    Reckon Freo had pencilled in being 6/0 or 5/1 in the first part of the season.  They won't get even close.  Then the tough draw starts!!

    Happy days!!🙃

    Not wrong. For the most part they've all been thoroughly enjoyable too!

    Despite the conventional wisdom on here Jackson was pretty good from what I saw of that Q...a nice tap to advantage and a couple of good grabs. Happy to see Freo getting smashed but look with both eyes people.

    What have they done to Dog?

    Looks half the player he was with us

    And he wasn’t that great with us. Played some exciting minutes and quarters showing great promise in what will be a historically great MFC team. 
     

    He ain’t a Pickett, Daicos, Serong, Curnow, Gawn, etc. 

     

    I’m glad we didn’t pay out of our pocket to keep him. It looks as tho the trade will work in Our favour. Taylor will ensure we do!

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
